This. And give your drop-in a prefix like 00-*.conf. Fwiw I don't think SSH adds the include line upstream. Most distros add it now.

syncthing seems pretty solid to me and I've used it a little, but... There's pushback on the killer feature that I want. I want to be able to sync photos from my phone and clear them automatically so I don't run out of room.

GitHub offers a this OR that option which seems to work. Granted their userbase might be a bit more technical on average. Why not remember how a user logs in with localstorage?

I like passkeys. I'm not able to be all in on them yet but I feel like they simplify my life. I have hardware keys and register all of them with sites that support them. Bitwarden for everything else. I don't feel like that makes

I've always wished the USPS would provide this as a service. I register my name and/or any number of virtual address aliases. Then, I privately keep the USPS up to date with a physical address for each alias. You can take it even

Not the job itself, but contacted by FAANG recruiter initially based on Linux distribution message board and git repo. I pushed it off for a few years -- got pinged once a year about the same time, was in grad school -- but eventually inter

I had the same thought, then worried I'd be slammed for not reading the article. The premise of the headline is obvious... But I don't know if I even agree with the actual research. It seems like it's overwhelmingly selection

Did you make a clean cut over to manager or are you basically carrying much of your IC load/responsibility in addition to the new management stuff? In my experience it takes a while to cut over because many managers were strong ICs and

Well I was only ever looking at them as links from Reddit which I'm not doing anymore anyway. But still, seems ridiculous. Was Twitter making ad money off unauthenticated (aka most) views?

What does a small server mean here? Is there an architecture diagram for a Lemmy instance somewhere? What parts can't be replicated? Is it a small database server?

Yeah, I agree.

Initially, I wanted to reply to you and say it's unfair to judge the person as incompetent; I still think it's a bit unfair because they develop a specialized library and their choice of hosting shouldn't need to be modernize

Wikipedia doesn't have to deal with opinion, humor, etc. It needs to enforce objectivity by having standards around sources of information. Social media has to deal with something more ambiguous.

I was annoyed by the PD churn on Comcast Business in principal but it didn't affect me too much in practice. The internal lan issues didn't bother me because I still prefer a local fd##::/64. For a few firewall rules that use

I just did this at a fairly large company and it feels good... after almost a year of stress. What worked for me was to point out the issue early, and keep pointing it out to the high level leads that could do something about it. At the sam

I agree that there will always be a need due to other bits of information, but IMO if you follow this train of thought for authentication specifically you wind up at "passwordless" WebAuthn.
